Charles (Kelsey Grammar) is the figure head of Tufton Bank, a prestigious British bank filled with tradition. He inherited the position from his father-in-law. He surrounds himself with knowledgeable people. His daughter Annabel (Sonya Cassidy) is a staunch anti-capitalist who lives with "freegans" people who live out of dumpsters. His wife Penelope (Tamsin Greig) is controlling. Charles remarks to his wife, "I'm trying to forget my mistakes. No sense in two of us remembering the same thing." Because of a combination of the real estate bubble and bad trades, Charles causes the bank to go into the red as his wife is unforgiving and he contemplates ending it all. His ledger is "nothing right on the left and nothing left on the right." At this point the formula of dry humor that worked do well changes as the film enters into a combination of "Life Stinks" and the more familiar "Trading Places." What was unfortunate was that they were able to come up with good one-liners and a cast who were great at delivery, but resorted to a silly formula ending that felt rushed and confused.
